Anyone have vintage Oregon bar cross reference info?

[Mark71gtx]

I have a few NOS Oregon bars, but some of the numbers do not cross reference to the current numbering system. Anyone have a chart that has the old numbers to compare to the new numbers? One attached for an example. One of the sleeves has a copyright date of 1971 on it. I do not know when they went to the current numbering system, or how many times it may have changed.

I have many vintage Oregon books. I can check what you need I think.

What is the slot width in mm. The first part of the number should be 20". 50 gauge,. Armor tip. So it is hard nosed. The adjuster holes are odd for sure.

Might could check with @John1212 he may know

Meant @Jon1212 my mistake I hear he's the guy that knows bars

Looks like a Universal/Combo bar meant to be run with an S Clip. The oblong adjuster holes have oil passages, not sure if the smaller holes do as well. The Stud slot appears to be 9.5mm, so I would hazard a guess that it will work on a D176 saw(with S Clip), or a D196/ D007 with out a clip.

Sidenote……I would be interested in owning something like the one pictured. Purely for scientific purposes, of course.

Not familiar with what an s clip is. Here is the other end of that bar. Using the paper carburetor float measuring tool I have, the slot looks to be 9mm. I could be off by .5 though...

 

[Mark71gtx]

Here is another. Slot appears to be 10mm on this one.

It has two rectangular holes above the two round ones. I am assuming Homelite or old Poulan? Power Mate is written on the sleeve. This one is showing some patina. Other end of this bar.

 

[Mark71gtx]

The last one says McCulloch on the sleeve. I assume it is true...

Other end of this one. I have replacement tips for this bar in 3/8" and .325

Pushed over 5/16" bar studs it allows the use of a bar with a 3/8" slot to be used. Windsor used to supply them with D096 / D196 type mount bars for Poulan and Homelite saws.

Those are some dang beauties........

Are there oiler passages through the smaller holes into the rail groove?

 

[Red97]

4-6 coils of a 3/8 od tension spring does the trick too.

 

[Jon1212]

I like old guide bars, and I cannot lie......you other brothers can't deny.....

 

[Mark71gtx]

There are no oil passages in the smaller round holes on the presumed McCulloch bar.

This fit-all was in with the group too. It has bubbly paint near the sprocket nose on this side and Stihl 3/8 .050 written in sharpie on the other side. Numbers on it read:
28162 EL 60
16OSLdDH006
The second and last numbers are not very clear, but appear to both be a 6

 

[Mark71gtx]

12-12.5 mm slot on the fit-all

Is it "wrong" that I am slightly aroused by all of these NOS guide bars?......just be honest.....
